WD Smartware Pro vs. Back & Restore

WD Smartware Pro only backs up your personal files, but does not backup your settings and a system image.

Windows Backup & Restore backs up all personal files, settings, and a system image.

Why would I use Smartware Pro…?

Hi,

Is depending on your needs. 

If a user only needs the specific files on their backup, the best option is the WD Smartware which will allow you to select the files that you want to backup either by category or by specific files.
